Otto of Bavaria becomes King Othon I of Greece

A three-man regency council of Bavarian court officials assumed control of the government in Otto's name during his minority.

His government was initially run by a three-man regency council made up of Bavarian court officials. These regents ruled in his name and made themselves very unpopular by trying to impose German ideas of rigid hierarchical government on the Greeks, while keeping most significant state offices away from them.
